I got to think UW is gonna have a hard time hiring a replacement. He was 6-1 in bowl games. .72 win percentage. Who the heck wants to take over a place with that high of expectations? Wisconsin has never won a national championship. They likely never will. Just a really head scratching decision.
Apparently, Wisconsin negotiated a lower buyout than what was in the contract.
If they want to roll the dice, there are some who feel that Kent States' coach Sean Lewis is a real up and comer. He played for the Badgers.
WOW! Kent State’s. non-conference schedule was @Washignton, @Oklahoma, and @Georgia. Played respectable in all 3 games and gave Georgia a scare. Interesting coach.If they want to roll the dice, there are some who feel that Kent States' coach Sean Lewis is a real up and comer. He played for the Badgers.
So you can’t just act like a Neanderthal toward everyone at work, and always keep you job??? Weird.
In coaching, I’m pretty sure the rule is that you can be an asshole, but you can’t be an asshole AND lose football games.
How do an asshole other than running the score up on us?🤨
Somebody is going to get a good coach. Welcome to our world Badger fans.
Why would they fire a coach with a P5 winning % of 66% for a guy that has a P5 winning % of less that 40%. There are good teams that have success 1 maybe 2 years and that is what LL has done. Then you have good programs, that are sustainable, way to early to tell if that’s what he has.
That sucks, I was hoping Wisconsin would keep Chryst.
Newbie, newbie, newbie. Learn a little bit about what you're talking about. He takes crap programs and turns them around. They stay turned around. Show me which of his teams became good and then turned around and were bad. It's never happened.
This is sort of a tough one. Like, if you left your job you probably are not addressing everyone before you go and giving hugs and your contact info and all that.
Say what you will about our program and Trev Alberts, but the WI press conference looks like romper room compared to NUs. Are they in a broom closet? And I guess they hired Joaquin Phoenix from 1986's Space Camp for their interim?
He took over a power at Wisconsin Whitewaters, kept them a power, he took over a a decent Buffalo team and made them a little better in a shitty conference. He is having 1 good season at Kansas. He is Mike Riley 2.0, hell even Riley had a 7-0 start here.
Coached at UNO in 2010. Probably doesn't like Trev.If they want to roll the dice, there are some who feel that Kent States' coach Sean Lewis is a real up and comer. He played for the Badgers.
Great argument there guy. So clearly you are not one that thinks we need a proven Power 5 coach, because he is not one. At the FBS level he is 44-43, Riley was also a .500 coach.
Yeah and it might depend on how/why the person is leaving too.
More evidence of your stupidity. I'm shocked at how many guys don't understand this. When you take over crap programs, you lose first then turn the tide and start to win. It's called program building. It ain't where you start, it's how you finish. He won all six titles at Whitewater. While they are good, they didn't win it all before or after him. He put buffalo on a very strong winning path. After he left, they started to fall off the cliff again. Kansas won like three games in 3 years before he got there. In year two, they are 5-0 and ranked. Everyone knows Kansas is a football graveyard. He has plenty of coaching experience at all levels and all he does is win.
40%??? That’s quite the improvement for us, over ginger Jesus
I still don't get it. He is not a redhead. I just don't get the joke/slam or whatever it is meant to be.
You really should go back and take at look at a coaches complete body of work before making erroneous statements about Leipold, he has done the opposite of your claims. When you look at a coaches resume try and look a little deeper into the accomplishments of work next time.
I think they set the record for most money made in 3 non-con games.
Couldn't have put it better, some posters or fans of college football have no idea what it takes to turn a program around and kingofcars is that type of fan. For what it's worth the next HC at Nebraska even if it's MJ will have to make massive changes or tear down and build up the program if we are ever to get up off the matt.
Ha! Riley's wife hated it here, Frost's wife hated it here. Trev and his family were basically moved out to South Carolina when they called to talk to him about the job.
Kurt is like "wait...coaches are getting canned for winning 9 games...but I hardly ever win 7...Oh no!~"
They will never, ever fire Ferentz at Iowa. One, their athletic director has the spine of a tube worm; he’ll be lucky if Ferentz doesn’t fire him. Two, their fan base has surprisingly low expectations. Getting to a bowl game is pretty much all they ask.
That is not true at all of Trev. He was always at UNO events and I'd see him all over Omaha from OCC to Charleston's. His kids went to Prep and Marian and his wife was involved at the schools. I do think we have an ace in the hole with Lance's wife being an Omahan.
Pretty sure none of his kids went to millard north.
